NO. 2 ```markdown ``` The story to the effect that Ankeny and Piper have patched up their differences and that Ankeny had invited Piper to visit him in Walla Walla where they could agree upon a slate for the next state convention and for a suitable candidate as the next United States senator from this state reminds the Pie-maker that if it be possible for a politician, like the proverbial cat to have nine lives, then one of that class of politicians is George Piper, whose portrait accompanies this screed. George Piper has been a veritable political nightmare in this country for the past decade or more and repeatedly has he been politically killed, but just as repeatedly has he been politically revived and placed at the helm of affairs. If the man does not eventually come to the front as the greatest political leader in the country it will not be for a lack of persistency, as well as ingenuity, which things go a long way in making successful politicians. Piper in 1892 fought Governor McGraw as long as he dared to and live in King county. His fight forced him to sell out his paper, the Press-Times, and leave the state. He returned in 1897 as manager of the Post-Intelligencer, with which for four years he made Rome howl. The paper was finally sold from under him and he again left the state for a brief period. While manager of the P.-I. he made an effort to elect Levi Ankeny United States senator, but failed. Mr. Ankeny continued to trust his political judgment, even after he lost the paper, and with every paper in the country against him he made a last grand stand in 1898, and only lost the county by five votes, and had his plans POLITICAL POT=PIE Governor McBride may have strengthened his political fences to some extent in appointing Sheriff Mills as one of the members of the board of audit and control, but he did not do himself any great good by appointing Charley Reed superintendent of the reform school. Charley Reed is without any political following in either King or any other county of this state, and he is likewise a man of no ability to do anything except act as a clerk in some business man's office. His record as chief of police of Seattle is not a very commendable one, and it is very doubtful if there is a single man in either Seattle or King county that will help the governor out one way or the other because he has appointed Reed to the position that he is now filling, while, on the other hand, he has made bitter political enemies all over the state by removing Superintendent Westendorf from the place he has so admirably filled for the past ten years for political purposes only. The governor is noted for never opening his mouth without putting his foot in it, and in this instance he has excelled all former efforts. * * * The Pie-maker learns from the Walla Walla Union that the opposition to the Ankeny machine led by Governor Miles C. Moore, has already begun a fight to a finish on the re-election of Mayor Hunt, as was predicted in the last issue of this paper. Mayor Hunt may be able to run the political gauntlet, but when he does he will remember that he had a fight on his hands. The Pie-maker heard that from many sources during a recent visit there and from the editorial columns of a more recent date the rumors have been more than verified. The opposition to Mayor Hunt claims that though he, Hunt, was elected on a reform ticket and for the avowed purpose of closing up the resorts, yet SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1903 It is claimed that George U, Piper and Senator Levi Ankeny have buried the hatchet and will again do politics as of yore. Piper claims that he broke with Ankeny because he could not be loyal to King county and support Ankeny, but the general impression is [Name] GEORGE U. PIPER. that Ankeny believed Stevenson a better manipulator than Piper, and therefore unceremoniously supplanted him. If Piper is correct in his version it strikes the Pie-maker that he, Piper, cannot remain with Ankeny a single minute, for the latter is for the re-election of Foster, and Seattle never had a worse enemy than is Foster. What can come from the Ankeny-Piper fix-up is a political puzzle, but the Pie-maker is of the opinion that no good can or will come out of it for Seattle. For Senator Ankeny to support a Seattle man for United States senator he necessarily would have to break away from the men who elected him and this it is not believed he will do. the town was never before run so wide open as under his administration. Then again the opposition says that Mayor Hunt is being pushed by the machine for re-election for no other reason than for the machine to groom him as an invincible candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination next year. On the other hand, Mayor Hunt's friends say the city was never so prosperous as under his administration; that he has made an ideal mayor, and, finally, that the mayor has no gubernatorial aspirations and would not accept it if unanimously tendered him by the state convention unless it was the wish of his closest political friends. * * * Some anonymous person writes the Pie-maker a letter from Spokane, evidently for publication. Contrary to the custom of the paper, the letter is herewith published in full simply because it is in defense of Governor McBride, and the writer seems to labor under the belief that the editor hereof will not give the governor a fair show in these columns, which is a very wrong idea. The writer says: "I have accidentally seen the Seattle Republican of June 5th, wherein some one is wondering whether Gov. Henry McBride is politically dead, etc. While I do not claim to be a profit, nor do I know whether Gov. McBride desires the nomination for governor next summer or not, but if he enters the field he will be the liveliest dead man that the Pie-maker has ever come in contact with. He will have Spokane, Whitman and Stevens counties to start with. Spokane county will be represented on the state ticket, but not for treasurer, as the Pie-maker suggests that they want to be represented where the agriculturists are mostly interested: say land commissioner or secretary of state. Mr. Lord of Olympia, which the political prophet suggests for lieutenant governor, would make a good treasurer. "Most everything will be 'Roosevelt' east of the mountains. It is early yet, but we are watching the slate-makers very closely. So much for this time, re- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN IS AGAIN POSSIBLE worked he and his henchmen would have boldly stolen enough votes to win the day on the convention floor, but the move precipitated a row which would have finally resulted in a riot had he not receded. His political power was finally broken in the county and Ankeny, not being desirous of remaining tied up to a dead one, dropped him. Last year, to the surprise of all, George Piper bobbed up as candidate for state senator in the thirty-fourth senatorial district and while the other fellows were telling what an easy mark he would be in the primaries he captured the delegation and was nominated without opposition. Nomination is not always election, and Piper is now aware of that fact, for Governor McGraw, whom Piper had repeatedly vilified, declared he would not be elected and he made good his assertion. Since Tom Humes has been mayor of Seattle Piper seems to have been "IT" in his administration, which gave him a power that was hard to be broken. When he was defeated last year at the polls it was said that he was dead for all time to come, but now it transpires that Senator Ankeny is willing to pick him up again and use him as a leverage to split the next legislative delegation from this county in the interest, no doubts, of Foster, the Tacoma candidate, who has done nothing since he has been in the senate but fight Seattle. The above is a brief career of George U. Piper in King county, which if carefully studied and verified, would furnish food for thought for the sensational of the sensation writers. spectfully a Republican for forty-three years, and still one." \* \* \* \* Matters, politically, are quiet in Clarke county, on the surface at least, so spoke Judge A. L. Miller of that county while in the city the fore part of the week. The only matter causing any ripple of excitement is the appointment of a postmaster. The railroad interests supported by both of the United States senators are urging the appointment of Mr. C. G. Shaw and the anti-railroad element, backed by Congressman Cushman, are for Mr. Daniel Crowley. The present incumbent's time expired some time ago but the appointment of a successor still hangs fire. It is said that Senator Ankeny helped the cause of the railroad candidate not a little bit from the fact that he was no sooner elected than he immediately telegraphed the president to make no appointment until he, Ankeny, could be heard on the matter. President Roosevelt is a man who does not like to be dictated to, especially by newly hatched senators, and it is not at all unlikely that Congressman Cushman may land his man over the heads of both senators, and the Democratic railroad henchman, George Stevenson. *** Clarke county has tried several times to break into the state convention and carry off something, but since the time of State Treasurer A. A. Lindsley she has knocked in vain. Some years ago it had a candidate for the United States senate in the person of J. D. Geoghegan, but he was defeated through a local factional fight. Some opposed to Geoghegan brought out State Senator A. F. Shaw, who had no chance for an election, but he did accomplish Geoghegan's defeat. Both were good men, however, and are now dead. Four years ago it came to the state convention with a candidate for congress in the person of W. W. McCredie, a bright young attorney, but he was unable to combat Cushman's combination, hence fell in line for Tacoma's candidate. Eight years ago Dr. A. --- We do not hear much more about the "Iowa idea" of tariff revision; it must have died a "Cummins." The terrible results of the storms and overflows that have caused so much damage and loss of life throughout the east, have been made to seem more real by similar calamities nearer home. The Pacific slope has been particularly immune from severe storms, tornadoes, cloudbursts, etc., which makes that which overwhelmed Heppner, Oregon, on Sunday evening last seem the more terrible, possibly, than those we read of occurring at a greater distance. The thought of a wall of water breaking loose from the clouds and without a moments notice overwhelming a community and sweeping hundreds into eternity, is a catastrophy beyond compare. With all his boasted strength man is a frail thing compared to the elements when unbridled. Three Tree Point Grounds THREE TREE POINT CO. C. B. LIVERMORE B. Eastham, above referred to, had the lieutenant gubernatorial bee in his bonnet, but when he got to the state convention he found he did not cut enough ice and his bee was soon strangled in the shuffle of that historical gathering. \* \* \* The railroad interests are being faithfully looked after in Clarke county by State Senator E. M. Rands and Dr. A. B. Eastham, at present Mayor of the city of Vancouver. Rands was one of Ankeny's strong supporters and will be a candidate for re-election if the railroad forces win out at the next convention. The majority of the people in that county are opposed to railroad politics, but as they have been so long subjected to the class of political management that succeeds best with a big sack, it is not at all certain but that the railroad influence that will no doubt be set to work in due time, may be able to carry that county. Clarke in some respects is one of the freak political counties of the state. It has always been infested by a crowd of cheap political bosses, who have generally been able to manipulate things to their liking. Strongly Republican, yet it has been known to go Democratic, just to rebuke the bosses; then the antis would go to sleep, while the bosses "sawed wood," and were usually able to come up smiling and successful at the next heat. * * * It is reported, however, that Dr Eastham is of a cheerful disposition and still wants office, and most any old thing, which, by the grace of George Stevenson and the railroad company, might be handed him, would be acceptable, from governor down. Eastham and Rands, however, will not control the delegation to the next state convention without a severe fight and the chances for a divided delegation, as usual, is far better than are those that either faction shall be in full control. Clarke county's chances for representation on the state ticket does not depend solely upon Dr. Eastham's success, however, for Judge A. L. Miller, who has occupied the superior court bench for his district for the past ten years, is quite favorably spoken of for the supreme bench. Judge Miller has made an enviable record as a superior court judge, and when asked by a representative of this paper if he expected to be a candidate for the supreme bench, he was not talking for publication, but from a significant shrug of the shoulders one might easily guess that he is not averse to taking a step higher. Whether he will enter --- ```markdown ``` Horse Races at THE MEADOWS Every Day Rain or Shine MONDAY & THURSDAY LADIES DAYS LADIES ABSOLUTELY FREE ON THESE DAYS Don't Miss It Admission 50 Cents, except Saturday, Stake Race Days, when Gentlemen Gladly Pay One Dollar Street Cars Direct to the Grounds Fare 5 Cents the race for the nomination, or simply leave himself in the hands of his friends, remains to be seen.

Afro-American Observations One of the large Eastern daily papers is now issuing with its weekly paper a comic supplement. At present they are running a series of pictures under the title of "Adam's Trouble Raising Cain or How Adam Wrote His Diary." They represent Cain as a model of bad boys, equal even to the "kid" of today, but the amusing thing about the pictures is the conclusions which Mr. Adam reaches about the animals in the Garden of Eden. Cain plays practical jokes on his father with the animals, after which Mr. Adam carves his conclusion of the matter on the large rocks or bolder conveniently scattered about in the garden. For instance one week the pictures represented Cain persuading his father to hit a swinging nest of bees which he told him was a foot ball made to hit or kick. Adam does so, whereupon the bees swarm upon him. He runs but is badly stung. Then Mr. Adam carves upon a rock: "Those things which live is foot balls bite when they sit down on you." In another Adam sits down upon a porcupine thinking it is a stone, to give Cain a switching, more modernly speaking—"licking." He again gets badly hurt and carves on his diary "Some rocks grow long needles all of a sudden and then run away. Mr. Adam." Mr. Adam's conclusions are not very much unlike some which are now being and have been printed about the Negro. Some one is misled by a Negro, some place, some how, in some manner and he at once writes an article for the paper saying: "The Negro is dishonest and can not be relied upon." Some one is deceived and an article comes out: "The Negro will steal." Some Negro who has been highly educated retrogrades, lands in prison, and regardless of the fact that every jail and penitentiary Three Tree Point Will be opened to the Public on and after JUNE 20th, 1903. For general information, and Excursions, Picnics and Private Parties apply to or address THREE TREE PO C. B. LIVERMORE has its pro rata of highly educated prisoners, we read under large head lines: "The Negro a failure—not capable of higher education." And so on it goes until the Negro has fallen heir to almost every shortcoming, real or imaginary, within the gift of the people. "I wonder why colored actors seek to do the comic parts only," asked a spectator of his companion at an entertainment which they were witnessing. "They seem to prefer it," came the answer. Both wrongly commented one who overheard them. The average actor of color neither seeks nor prefers the comical. It is forced upon him. There has been a time when he did not appear upon the stage at all save in the capacity o fa servant and "we build the ladder by which we climb" and mount it round by round. On the stage things are endured or tolerated, they amuse or instruct us. Today the Negro actor has passed the period of endurance. It is his time to amuse and the readiness with which he fits himself to the requirements is indeed praiseworthy. The light of the day when he can be a success on the stage is just beginning to illuminate the horizon and he will rise to meet it and will gather laurels from an appreciative public for the brow which he now contorts for its amusement. The Boston Guardian pays the following tribute to the South and to Southern chivalry: "My! With the southern liteutenant-governor of Louisiana killed in a street brawl; the same official in Missouri convicted of stealing and, therefore, forced to resign; another waiting trial for murder in South Carolina; a United States senator and congressman in a curbstone fight in Arkansas; Tillman and McLaurin, of South Carolina, and Bailey of Texas, in a fistic combat in the senate, the South seems able at least to furnish the scrappers of the country! And all this display of temper and bar-room methods by white men, not Negroes. If thugs and black-legs in that section don't look out, they will have to seek new occupation for distinction!" And to this long list of rowdyism and bloodshed the riotous state of affairs at Jackson, Ky., might be well added. Talk about a people not capable of self-government, none on earth is less qualified to do so than that class of human degenerates who are pleased to call themselves Southerners. *** * * * OF COURSE! OF COURSE! (Can you guess the moral of this?) He ate a hasty breakfast formed Of ham and eggs and bread. Three cups of coffee and some cakes That weighed like so much lead. Then rushed to work and never stopped Until 'twas time for lunch. When out he dashed and straightway on This meal began to munch; A chunk of pie, a milk-soaked bowl Of Patent Sawdustine. Three doughnuts and a cup of tea, With hot rolls in between. A plate of hash, some oyster stew A dash of pink ice cream. (To take a lighter meal than that He really could not dream!) At night he spent an hour or more Consuming pound on pound Of heavier food, until he seemed For apoplexy bound. And then—and then—he took a drink Of whisky, old and mellow. And went to bed to dream of work, This reckless, foolish fellow. Next day he woke to find his head Half splitting with a pain. And getting up, he said, "I swear I'll not do that again!" He put the blame where it belonged? (His head ache growing thicker.) Not on your life. He laid it too That little glass of liquor! BACCHANALIAN SONG. Chief Justice Fuller of the U. S. Supreme Court is one of the notables with only one poem charged up to his account. This one was written way back in 1856, when he was patiently awaiting his first clients: Gayly the wine in our goblets is gleaming. Bright on its surface the foam bubbles swim; So the smiles of our joy from each countenance beaming Are the bubbles that dance on the cup of life's brim. Oh, what are life's hopes and its high aspirations, But wishes for things that are not what they seem? Away to the shades with such dull contemplations. Utopian visions, where all is a dream. The flag at our masthead is pleasure's own banner. And to the breeze boldly its broad folds we fling; While each stout hearted sailor will raise the hosanna To ivy-crowned Bacchus, our jolly- souled king. Then, fill up your glasses, lads; fill up your glasses! With frolicsome pleasure the moments emplov. Since life is a span, each bright hour it passes. When seized on its flight, it is ours to enjoy. Apple Jack (Mida's.) Tales of the Town A sample of intolerance and the utter heartlessness bred in the lives of some men because of their contact with labor unions, was witnessed in this city last week. An employee of the Seattle Electric Company met death by contact with a live wire and so it seems was a nonunion man. Soon after the body was brought to the morgue a union man, with much profanity, was heard to remark it served the —— "scab" right, and that there ought to be more of them get the same kind of a dose. When it comes that adherence to a principle, right enough in the abstract, will so dwarf a human mind that he will rejoice in the death of one who prefers not to see as he does, will make murderers at heart of mankind, it is about time that public sentiment make up and come to a realization of things as they really are. --- The biennial report of the board of health, just published, for the years 1901-2, places the death rate for the former year as 9.09 and for the latter at 8.07 to the thousand. Of the total number of deaths 925 in 1902, pneumonia claimed 95, tuberculosis 88, organic heart trouble 78, cancer 42, Bright's disease 35, typhoid fever 34, suicide 24, senile decay 18, old age 13, meningitis 13, peritonitis 12, gastritus 12, accidental drowning 13, diphtheria 10, cerebral hemorrhage 10, alcoholism 10, murder 7, etc., through the long list of ills that flesh is heir to. Including suicides, drownings and murder above cited; the number of deaths from violence was 114. These and the deaths incident to old age and alcoholism cuts the number of deaths from the ravages of disease to 774, or a little less than 7 to the thousand, that certainly is a very favorable showing from a health standpoint. In 1902 there were 1188 cases of infectious disease reported to the department; with these is classed cases of tuberculosis and typhoid fever. Of the number 145 proved fatal. The number of births in 1902 was 1183—561 males and 532 females. Of the number 86 were still born, but are not included in the death rate given above. *** The monthly report for May, 1903, gives the number of deaths from all causes as 88, as against 99 for May, 1902. This is a death rate of 9.24. The number of births for May just passed is 111 as against 85 for the corresponding month in 1902. Of the 88 deaths in May the number under one year of age was 17; from one to five, 2; from five to ten, 2; from 10 to 20, 10; from 20 to 30, 6; from 30 to 40, 15; from 40 to 50, 6; from 50 to 60, 13; from 60 to 70, 9; from 70 to 89, 5; from 80 to 90, 2; from 100 to 110, 1. *** "I am in town for a few days visiting with my children and incidentally with friends of many years' acquaintance whom I have not seen for some time," said E. A. Gardner, who was at one time a well known private detective in this city. Some year and a half ago Mr. Gardner got tired of the detective business and gave it up, went to Ferry county, bought a saw mill and has stuck to it ever since, and this is his first visit to Seattle since he left. During the past week a number of fossil hunters from Eastern schools of science have been camping in Seattle and its suburbs in quest of antiquated fossils. Certainly those fossil hunters were not dead next to their jobs in spending as much time in Seattle as they did looking for fossils, and yet not pick up one of the most peculiar fossils in the whole Northwest, the editor and chief of the daily and weekly Times, Col. Alden J. Blethen, formerly of banking fame in Minneapolis, and incidentally of publishing fame in the same city, who came to a sudden standstill and after publishing a nasty vilification against Mrs. President Grover Cleveland. * * * Here is a good one on Will Humphrey, our congressman. It will be remembered that Mr. Humphrey was at the head of the committee that received the president in this city, which of course threw him in the presence of the president the most of the time during his stay in the city. As the president was passing down the street amid the great throngs of people our own and only "Will E." was a conspicuous figure. On passing by the school children of the high school one bright young miss was heard to remark, "Oh, there is the president;" whereupon another an instant later shouted, "and he has a nigger in the carriage with him;" then came a third voice from among the girls, "and he is better looking than the president." The girls learned after they had gone home that the man accompanying the president was not a nigger, but was Congressman Humphrey. Whether or not Mr. Humphrey will enjoy this mistake is not known to the writer, but the Negroes of this city, whom Josiah Collins tried to snub, after all came out of the affair with more honors than they themselves had even dreamed of, and on learning of the mistake Collins must have felt cheap enough to be bought for a cent. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Speaking about the president and his visit to Seattle a well known Eastern Washington man, who, by the way, is none too friendly to Seattle politically, commercially or otherwise, on being questioned as to what the president thought of the reception that Seattle gave him, remarked: "Well, the president left Seattle believing that it has a greater commercial future than any other city on the Pacific Coast. He was completely captivated with the city when he met the boats, but when he went ashore and saw the crowds and the city, it seems that it did his very heart good, and he did not quit talking about Seattle until he reached Spokane, which city he was also very much impressed with." This is from a man who was with the president for a week. \* \* \* In the death of John F. Dore this section of the country looses one of its most noted criminal lawyers. It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that no man in the state has taken in more fees for defending persons charged with crime than did Mr. Dore during the life time of the wide open policy inaugurated under Tom Humes as mayor of Seattle, and yet it is given out by those who seem to know, that he died leaving his family practically without a dollar for support. It will thus be seen that even great minds do not always have sufficient forethought in the midst of their prosperity to lay by a few dollars for loved ones in case misfortune should overtake them and the family money maker becomes unable to make more. 球 球 球 And now it is reported that Editor J. G. Pyle is to return to his first love, the Globe, of St. Paul, and thus relieve the P. L. of a precious pile of editorial facts that it will seriously miss. The press of the state is a unit in singing Mr. Pyles' praises and further adding, the Post-Intelligencer has never had a fairer or more able editor than he. No wonder Editor Blethen hastened to take the lead in commending his work while in this city, for Editor Pyle could always in a three or four line article as a criticism of the Times furnish the Times food for bold face editorials for a whole week. The Times thinks it can now run over the P.-L. rough shod. *** The temporary retiring of the firm of Hamm & Schmitz, which has realized a fortune out of the hotel business since the first Klondike excitement in 1897, will be greatly missed by the general public, as both of them were ideal hotel men. The hotel Butler under their management was a very popular resort from the fact that both good people as well as people who could be looked upon with suspicion, could always find quarters there without questions being asked, and then again just so one attended to their own business and put on a respectable appearance irrespective of their nationality or color, they could always get accommodations at the Butler. * * * It seems to have been a question in the weather man's mind for the past week or more whether to melt or freeze the denizens of this locality. One day it would be unbearably hot and the next almost unbearably cold for the season. During the past week electric storms have more or less prevailed all over the state and these have been followed by a falling barometer. Vegetation is still very backward on the Sound and the same is true of the entire state. Last Sunday was a great day for the barbers and gamblers. It was the first Sunday for a long time that either one of them could take a good Sunday rest and incidentally get a nibble, and both of them enjoyed the day by pulling suckers out of the streams and lakes instead of out of the streets and alleys. The last legislature put both the barber and the gambler business to sleep, and they evidently reasoned to themselves that a good mess of fish would be some recompense for the loss of their usual big Sunday's earnings. Hon. Fred C. Harper is receiving many congratulations from those who know him best on account of his having been asked to take charge of the Knickerbocker Hotel, which had run down pretty badly under its former manager, who seems to have known no more about conducting a hotel than the average American knows about conducting a Chinese palace. Mr. Harper is well known throughout the Northwest and is one of the popular men of this state and city. If the Knickerbocker can be made a first class hotel and patronized by first class people, who travel, Mr. Harper will, if he continues at its head, certainly make it such. The successful hotel man is one who can be pleasant to all, not pleasant by-assumption, but actually pleasant, and also one who can be equally as positive at the proper time as pleasant, and that's characteristic of the man now at the head of the Knickerbocker. The first man to break the new barber law of this state was a Japanese. Perhaps the Jap was of the opinion Japs were not people nor amenable to the Graham's Hot Weather Jackets Keep Cool on Warm Days at a Very Slight Expense Peau de Soie Jackets COFFEE COAT, $10.00 MONTE CARLOS, $12.50 Both styles made in the nobby collarless effects with long stole ends trimmed in lace medallions, large bishop sleeves and pleated back.

Graham 714-716 SECOND AVE. laws, and therefore there would be no objections to him shaving them the same on Sunday as on Monday, but Judge Cann thought differently and now the Jap barber is ten dollars poorer than he was this time last week. Let that be a warning to all others and let them act accordingly. Laws were made to be obeyed, and he or she who refuses to do so should be punished and punished severely and punished for the first offense just the same as for the second or third one. \* \* \* Seattle is to have no Fourth of July celebration nor is Ballard, therefore it has been suggested that the denizens of both the cities go to the parks at Lake Washington and have a regular good time. That would be very nice, but if such a course should be decided upon its just one chance in a thousand but that beer, wines and whiskey would be sold in wholesale lots at the parks until the very day would be disgraced. * * * Dr. Van Waters, a well known dentist, has been held to the superior court in $2000 bonds, which he was unable to give, for criminally assaulting a ten year old little girl. The doctor seems to have a weakness for little girls. It will be remembered that he was accused of assaulting his step-daughter some five or six years ago, and that, too, while he was acting in the capacity of a deputy sheriff, and was taking the girl to the reform school, and if the girl told the truth to her neighbors, her papa only had her committed to the reform school because she would not be his paramour. If Dr. Van Waters' skin would turn black all of a sudden he would at once be a fit subject for the lyncher's limb.

Wonder if that old cup is beginning to pack its grip for a short visit to the Emerald Isle. A cold hearted justice of the peace hiding behind a heartless statute has sentenced one of "Scotty" Ferguson's charity workers to thirty days in the city bastile for violation of the city ordinance against gambling, and all good citizens say—Amen! President Mellen, of the Northern Pacific railroad, says, "that's another;" he never offered to pay $10,000 towards a fund to elect President Roosevelt to the presidency, consequently all is harmony again in Wall Street and the efforts to find some one to oppose the people's choice drags slowly on. Just now it looks as though the brewers had this city by the muzzle, and prospects for corner grogshops being as plentiful and widely diversified as corner groceries are, seems very encouraging to those philanthropic individuals. Protests from the people seem to count as nothing with the councilmen. Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, has three essential qualifications for the position of running mate to President Roosevelt in the next campaign. He is a young man; he is a western man, and he is an able and eloquent campaigner; moreover he is popular. Roosevelt and Beveridge would make a combination that would sweep the country like a wild fire. West Seattle is in the throes of an annexation proposition. The News is opposing the scheme, and presents as a part of its objections West Seattle's fitness to be the county seat of King county when Seattle shall have seceded thereform. Ballard, Kent, Auburn, Issaquah, are already in line; now comes West Seattle; there will surely be something doing when the time comes, if ever it does. Although it may seem a little slow in coming, yet Bremerton is to get her deserts now, according to Rear Rdmiral Bradford, who reports that extensive preparations and enlargement of the equipment of the navy yard are contemplated. Aside from the moral cleansing the town has received the yard has received an extensive advertising as a result of the escapade, and will no doubt soon be better off than ever. If, as has been suggested, the weather of the past week with thunder storms, cloud bursts, etc., is only a section of the middle west weather out on a sight seeing trip or a preliminary hunt for new fields to conquer, we suggest that the trolly be cut and transportation be suspended for a season. We are not in need of certain kinds of immigrants out this way. We have gotten along very well in the past and are averse to any such new fangled weather stunts. An exhibition of the intolerance of the Socialist cult was given in this city a few days ago. At a debate, pro and can, on the question of Socialism, the audience was largely composed of those saturated with the virus of that fallacy; and if anything was wanting to prove their unAmericanism, it was exhibited in the lack of courtesy accorded the opposing speaker for a fair hearing. The result of the debate was a victory for Socialism, as the audience went there predetermined in their minds as to the verdict. A terrible state of affairs exists in New York, according to the Wine and Spirits Gazette. As a result of a doubling of the license fee in the city, the number of saloons and drinking places have been reduced by 790. This is the cause for the "demoralized" condition complained of by the Gazette. It is quite evident, however, that New York is far from being a "dry" town, from the fact that, when the new high license law, went into effect May 1, there were $10,861,807 paid into the city treasury in license fees. "Self preservation is the first law of nature," but preparation for self preservation seems to have been neglected by the Jews in Russia in past times. This left them an easy prey to the attrocities that occasionally horrify civilization from time to time, from that country. But a change has come, and now, we hear of the persecuted Jews, arming themselves for protection and self defense. This is an argument that it likely to be respected, and is in line with the theory, among nations, that the surest guaranty of peace, is a stupendous preparation for war. The American Protective Tariff League of New York is early in the field for the campaign of 1904. Realizing that the percentage of new voters may prove to be sufficient to turn the scale in several states, the League has mailed to its members and connections inquiry cards asking names and addresses of young men who will, next year, cast their first votes at a presidential election. Replies to these cards are coming in by the hundreds in every mail, and the League is rapidly accumulating an immense list of names to which it will send literature of the sort calculated to inform young electors as to the merits of the questions dividing the two political parties.

BRIEF REVIEW OF PASSING EVENTS REPUBLICANISM, THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE. A few years ago the great cry of those opposed to the Republican party was that it was the "mother of trusts," that its policy was dictated by and wholly in the interests of capital. There is no denying the fact that with the return of the Republican party to power, after four years of utter demoralization of American industries, under a Democratic president and congress, that the monopolists and large corporations, miscalled trusts, have prospered and waxed fat; so have many private individuals, and every one who has taken advantage of his opportunities, has also done well, and is still doing well. It is also true that corporations and concentrated capital have reaped the greater harvest because of the greater opportunity and advantage that comes as a result of the money at their command. The Republican party is responsible for this, in so far as it is responsible for the prosperous conditions that have prevailed for the past seven years. Democratic critics are free to charge the one, but deny the other. If the party is responsible for the growth and prosperity of socalled trusts it certainly must be responsible for the improved conditions that makes their prosperity possible. That this is true is evidenced by the fact, as before stated, that all conditions, rich and poor alike, have been more prosperous, than under a Democratic administration. It is not fair to charge the Republican party with responsibility for the abuses that have come up because of improved business conditions, unless it were better to keep times hard and let the great rank and file of the people remain in the condition they were during Cleveland's administration, just to check arrogant capital from being abusive. The Republican party has always stood for the people, for these principles which means the greatest good for the greatest number. When to accomplish such results its action favors trusts, as it has seemed to do, in the past, it hesitates not to thus favor them, but when trusts get too arrogant and abuse the privileges accorded them, as many are now doing, we find the Republican party, true to its principles, standing in the breech against the trusts, and for the people. The truth of this is evidenced by the fact that the great trusts in this country today are against the present administration, and will do all in their power to defend the nomination and election of President Roosevelt, simply because he dares to stand up for, and insist on the policy that stands for the greatest good to the greatest number and enforce the law as he finds it. And conversely, the proof of the falsity of Democratic party contentions that it is the party of the people, is found in the fact that these same trusts now turn to it for a leader, to protect them from the operations of Republican laws that hampers them in their efforts to control the earth and all thereon. So long as Republican policy brought the greater degree of prosperity the trusts were willing to support it, but they are ready to transfer their allegiance as soon as contrary conditions prevail. Unmolested the trusts will make more money under a Republican administration, but from past experience they know that Democracy favors them more than it does the rank and file, and are more willing to take their chances with a Democratic president than with a Republican, who is in favor of enforcing the law against them; giving no concern as to what effect a Democratic administration would have upon the individual and smaller interests of the nation. IF JAP BARBERS, WHY NOT OTHERS. There seemed to be no hesitancy on the part of the peace officers, in arresting a poor Jap who violated the barber's Sunday closing law last Sunday. It is with a good deal of satisfaction that the fact is noted. Law is law, and should be obeyed, and the prompt arrest and fining of a violation of this new law will cause a wholesome respect for the same. But the question is raised why discriminate. There are laws upon the statute books making it a misdemeanor for other lines of business to be open upon Sunday, but they are dead letters. They are violated with impunity, fifty-two times a year, by hundreds in this city. The barber's Sunday closing law will be enforced, for a time at least, for the barbers themselves are responsible for it, and hence in favor of its enforcement. The enforcement of that law, however, is no more incumbent upon the police and other officers of the law than is that which says that saloons and similar joints shall be closed on Sunday. The fact that saloon keepers are not in sympathy with the law makes no difference. The Jap barber arrested and fined $10 for opening his shop last Sunday, no doubt is not in sympathy with the law, neither is the highwayman or the burglar in sympathy with the law that says to him, "Thou shalt not," yet, if caught, they are made to suffer the penalty provided. Nearly, if not quite every saloon keeper in this city can be caught, red handed, in viola- tion of law, every Sunday in the year; yet we hear of no arrests. Why this discrimination? EDUCATION AND MORALS Education has not done everything which was hoped of it, even in America, although it has done much, and we are still faithfully hoping for more. It is unwise always to assume a superiority of virtue in the so-called "upper classes" of any country. Such revelations as are now being made in the Post-Office Department open our eyes to the ease with which men of education, in comfortable circumstances, lie and steal. The citizens whom Mr. Folk is sending to State prison in Missouri, for flagrant disregard of all moral obligation, have none of them the excuse of ignorance. An interesting life of Judge Jerome of New York, which has just been published, brings into sharp relief the fact that the prosperous and cultivated classes are often, perhaps usually, the ones least open to moral appeal. They have so many things, they are so dependent upon things, that principles lose their reality. They give new life to Wordsworth's doctrine that high living goes with low thinking. We are full of faith in the people and in the assumption that our progress makes for righteousness. As long, however, as stealing and deception are discovered in such gross forms, in national, state and city politics; as long as men of high standing in the business world prefer to buy votes rather than to struggle for justice; as long as our educated and prosperous classes are supine in the face of public wrong in their own communities, and prefer to talk about some distant community's evil deeds—so long will education have failed to give all of that moral reality which is one of the improvements which we hope from it.—Colliers Weekly. Realm of Religion. Educate for Character. The failure of our educational system lies in the fact that while we have trained the mind, we have not properly developed the moral sensibilities or the ethical side of life; hence, the former has become the dominant influence in the lives of a large proportion of the master spirits in the various walks and callings of life. Such a condition always favors spiritual suicide, and its continuance develops into an eating cancer at the vitals of civilization. Moral development, industrial training, and intellectual schooling—this three-fold education must be made the education of the future. A supreme duty confronts parents and teachers today. The moral verities must be placed in the ascendency if our nation is to be made in any true sense the leader in the van of progress. Character, a high noble, true manhood, grounded and rooted in love of truth, justice and human sympathy; this must be made the supreme object and aim of twentieth century education.—The Arena. Be Careful How You Build. It is not enough for a man to build a ship so that it looks beautiful as it stands on the docks. What though a man build his vessel so trim and graceful that all admire it, if, when she comes to be launched, she is not fit for the sea, if she cannot stand stormy weather, if she is a slow sailer and a poor carrier, if she is liable to founder on the voyage? All her fine lines and grace and beauty are of no account if she fails there. It makes no difference how splendidly you build; so far as this world is concerned your life is a failure unless you build so that you can go out into the great future on the eternal sea of life. Death is not an end. It is a new impulse.—Henry Ward Beecher. Thanksgiving a Duty. The true Christian believer sees the good hand of God in the smallest and commonest event as in the greatest. As truly as the psalmists of old may the believer of today, wider and fuller though his knowledge of second causes be, give praise to God, and say: "Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice; for Thou visitest the earth and waterest it; Thou preparest corn when Thou hast so provided for it; Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly; Thou settest the furrows thereof; Thou makest it soft with showers; Thou blessest the springing thereof." As truly as if directly does God give through the operation of nature's laws good gifts to His children. Thanksgiving is therefore a daily and constant duty. To neglect it is an expression of unbelief, as the exercise of it is an evidence of faith in God.—Selected. The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts, and the greatest art in life is to have as many of them as possible.—Bovee. Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment, poverty, are the fields of battle which have their heroes—obscure heroes, who are sometimes grander than those who win renown.—Victor Hugo. That Rat Hole. The son of an Oregon preacher was spending his vacation at home, after an arduous year in college. One day his father discovered him sitting by the barn, steadily gazing at a hole in the ground. "Well, my son, are you having a good time?" "No, father." "Not having a good time! Why not? What are you looking at so intently?" "I am looking into this rat hole." "Well, my son, no wonder you are not having a good time. Who ever had a good time looking into a rat hole? Nothing there but darkness and vermin, and neither one conducive to happiness or helpfulness. Nothing elevating there! If you want a good time, my son, look up at the singing birds, the leafy trees, the moving clouds, the blue sky, and the bright sunshine. A good time comes from looking up, and not by looking into a rat hole." How many people are imitating this young man! They fail to have a good time, and become morose, discouraged, and despondent, simply because they are looking into some rat hole of this world—and there are plenty of them. Look up, young Christian! Spiritual elevation and soul-enjoyment come from above. Pass by the rat holes. Do not stop to look into them. Say with the psalmist: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help."—Vanhorne. The Growth of Methodism. As the great Methodist church will, on the 28th instant, celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of its illustrious founder, John Wesley, a few figures showing the present magnitude of the denomination he inaugurated are not without interest. In the year before Wesley's death there were in the United Kingdom 294 itinerant preachers and 71,568 members. In the West Indies, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland there were 5,350 members. In the United States of America there were 228 itinerant preachers and 57,631 members. This made a total of about 135,000 (134,549) members the year before Wesley's decease. In 1902 there were reported a total membership in the various bodies of 7,659,285 members, with 48,359 ministers, 104,836 local preachers, 7,267,511 Sunday school scholars, and church property valued at $300,-000,000. Of these immense figures the American Methodist churches have 6,437,461 members, 42,083 ministers, 46,423 local preachers, 5,091,879 Sunday school scholars, and church property valued at $180,-900,000. Those who adhere to Methodism are estimated to number 28,018,770, and of these adherents, 22,531,113 are credited to the American Methodist congregations. These statistics give some idea of the great growth of Methodism and of its present majestic proportions. Coming into the twentieth century with such vast numbers and such immense force, its success should be greater than ever before. Next Tuesday will be the longest day in the year, with continuous day at all points north of the Arctic circle. In this latitude it is sixteen hours from sunrise to sundown. The sun rises at 4 a. m. and sets at 8 p. m., but with the twilight before and after sunrise and sunset, we have at least eighteen hours of daylight out of each twenty-four. One hundred and fifty thousand men in the building trades in New York city are quarreling with their bread and butter, and strikes in numerous other cities swell the number to a great many thousands more. The principal matter over which the strikes are called is that of recognition of the unions. Union managers want to control business, and insist that only union men shall be given employment. Trouble naturally follows. The recording telephone is an invention of a Danish electrician. The telephone, as it is called, is an instrument which automatically sets down the words of the speaker, leaving a permanent record, which may be reproduced at will. There is a standing reward of a large sum for such a device to use as a repeater on long distance telephone wires. The invention has stood satisfactory tests. The wireless telegraphy typewriter is the latest application to industrial uses of the ethical wave system of communicating across space. The invention is not perfected yet, but its field of possibilities is unlimited. The Secretary of the treasury has bought 386,000 ounces of silver bullion for the Philippine coinage at an average price of 53.727 cents per ounce, 250,000 ounces to be delivered at San Francisco and 136,000 ounces to be delivered at Philadelphia. If the present plans are carried out, instead of starting the new monetary system in the Philippines with 5,000,000 pesos, as had been intended, there will be on hand in the islands on September 15, when the gold standard will be established, fully 10,000,000 pesos and a correspondingly large supply of subsidiary and minor coins. Chicago Globe Trotter Tells of His Experiences with Strange Intoxicants. "What was the most distinctive impression of remarkable experiences which you brought back from your trip around the world?" It was Globe Trotters' day at the Annex. Half a dozen travelers had enumerated their most striking experiences, cataloguing the usual marvelous temples, magnificent scenery, and strange customs, till the question came to a quiet, oldish person, who was the only Chicago man in the company. "Well, what made the most impression on me was the drinks you get. Why, I don't think you can even lie about the things you saw and come anywhere near approaching the modest truth about the line of beverages I encountered in a fifteen months' tour of the world. Everything you saw has been written in books, but no man has ever adequately described the liquors of strange lands. That's because he who writes intelligently of them must have tried them, and most of those who have tried them have never lived to write again. "An American goes away, thinking his country is about it' when it comes to drinks, intoxicating or otherwise. He knows there are 5,000 different kinds of mixed drinks between Mahne and Alaska, most of them cocktails, which no alien has ever learned to concoct, and he is naturally proud. He holds his chain up a little higher when he finds that about all the English know of in the drinking line is 'Scotch' and 'brandy and soda.' He finds that every time he calls for beer he gets ale, and every time he says lager beer, with accent on the lager, he gets ale just the same, and then he resorts to a club where he can get German lager and exchange the same hard luck drink stories with other Americans. "Then he crosses to Paris and he gets a jolt the first thing. There he finds plenty of American bars and American cocktail artists, but what gives him the jolt is the discovery that he never knew before how to drink absinthe. He has always taken it stright in America, generally out of curiosity at that, and he has gulped it down quickly and made a bad grimace. But when a Frenchman asks him if he will take an 'aperitif' calls for pure Pernod, and prepares it 'sugared' for him in a big goblet, he is ready to admit that Americans have something to learn. Then he learns some things about French wines, the bottles and labels of which he has become familiar with in this country while consuming California vintages. But, of course, that's an old story and not a surprise. "In Italy he drinks more vermouth probably than ever before, and he revels in cheap wine. Most Americans go into ecstasies over the 'Chateau Romain' wine which they get in Rome and vicinity. Another pleasant surprise is the delicious 'Lacrymae Christi', which the traveler buys for a few soldi a glass while climbing Mount Vesuvius. His chief wonder is the beauty of the Calabrian maldens who espouse the refreshment, and the remarkable quantity of the 'tears' needed to quench his thirst. "In Greece you get a new experience in the resined wine of Arcady. If you can learn nto like resined wine you have achieved the victory of mind over matter. In Constantinople and Cairo you will find that the Turks have evolved nothing great, nothing classic, in the creation of beverages. The kotan says that the Mussulman shalt not touch intoxicating liquors, and, strange as it may seem to an occidental, the interdiction has really discouraged originality in this line. But the Moslems are not bemoaning fate, for they still have the narghileh and hashish. I smoked one of the gurgling things for ten minutes after a Turkish bath, and when I came to I had a regular 'day after' head on me. "But our subject only becomes enthralling when you land at Bombay. You won't be there a day before you realize that the transplanted European drinks which your English hosts set before you are making no headway in fighting tropical thirst. They are all right for a thirst that comes around only once a year, but they won't do for the chronic affliction. People begin to quote Kipling to you, at last two lines of him, and those two lines you get at every turn. It seems as if every 'boy' and punkah wallah in earshot takes a particular delight in informing you that you are "Somewhere east of Suez, where the best is like the worst. Where there ain't no ten commandments and a man can raise a thirst "Hoping that the worst may be more efficacious than the best you forsake your host's Scotch and plunge across the street, where a native open air bar is brilliant with bottled drinks of a hundred colors. It is there you may make your acquaintance with bhang and just what kind of a grinning black wretch sold it to you. "Bhang is distilled from the juices of various shrubs and trees, and no man knoweth the number of its varieties. The principal kind tastes like a combination of kerosene, lemonade and sulphuric acid. It quenches thirst effectually—it goes down like molten iron, and presently you are so busy deploying your rash act that you for- get all about your thirst. You never try bhang again—you merely stand around in the sun near one of those radiant bars and marvel how those spiritual Hindoos in the floating raiment can put away such quantities of it. "After bhang you will find the drinks of other oriental lands tame and insipid till you reach the Philippines and taste bino. Rice wine and rice brandy in China and the delicious saki of Japan served by dainty gelish are sufficiently surprising in their various ways, but bino can do more things to you and in a shorter time than any form of refreshment it has been my privilege to trifle with. Bino is made from the juice of the palm tree, generally the cocoonan plam and its fruit. Like bhang, there are numberless varieties of bino, but they have a common characteristic potency. It is cheap, too; so cheap that thousands of American soldiers conquered their first repugnance to its nauseous taste because they saw that they could get into a perfectly blissful condition of madness and ultimate helplessness in about one-fourth the time required by the old fashioned 'forty rod' and at about one tenth the cost. "In Manila you could always notice when bino was beginning to get its hold on your friend. You would notice that he excused himself from the American bar several times, and if you followed you would see him go around the corner into a native bino shack. In a short time he would slink away whole evenings, and you generally found him by making a round of the bino shacks. "Bino is the limit. It actually maddens a man. I have seen soldiers under the influence of bino plunging down a principal street with a bayonet in each hand, slashing pedestrians ADVERTISE! With ..US..

"There is one variety of bino which has a marvelous quality and one for which many an economical drinker yearns. A man who devotes himself to this kind of bino gets disgracefully intoxicated and is generally put to bed. The next morning he wakes up perfectly sober and continues sober till he takes a drink of water. If so much as a sip of pure water passes his lips 'the day after' he is then drunk for another day. This species of bino is a little more expensive than the ordinary kinds, but it is popular. The second edition of the intoxication is said to be peculiarly enjoyable and unlike anything obtainable through any other medium, liquid or otherwise. "When you get through investigating the properties of bino you might as well come home. The most villainous compound we have in America will taste like iced coffee after that concoction. And America is still 'it' when it comes to drinks, for we have annexed bino."—Chicago Tribune. Certainly we print legal notices. Call up Main 305 if you have one for publication.

Hancock: The church is our spiritual home, and home training tends greatly to the future of man. To the young Negro the church is the medium through which he receives a great part of his training. So in a sense his church is his home, his training school, his social hall, his concert hall and his place of worship. It is therefore made less sacred than it should be, and far less sacred than he himself desires to have it made. But on account of his small means he cannot avoid this humiliating sacrafice. We look to our pastor as the school child looks to its teacher for great and valuable instruction in morality, spiritual inspiration and etiquette in its various usages. Much responsibility rests upon our pastors, and great should be the appreciation of our parents for the valuable assistance rendered them by the pastors in making good and valuable men and women. I claim that we are obligated to our pastors, "that our love for them should be true, that our respect for them should be genuine, that our support and co-operation should be zealous and strong. No one can travel this life without encouragement, it matters not how well educated or wealthy he may be. I believe that the strongest possible encouragement or incentive to a pastor is co-operation. Co-operation means much more to our pastors than it does to ordinary persons, it means spiritual food and physical rest to him; it means time for him to search the scriptures that he may bring to light many of the beautiful truths of the holy word of God; it means that he will be relieved of much of the worry and strain of the financial condition of his church. Should we ask Dr. James M. Townson, who was one of the most successful and able pastors of the A. M. E conference, to what one feature he mostly attributed his pastoral success, this I am sure would be his answer: "The co-operation of the young men." So, young men, let us awaken to a sense of duty in co-operation with the pastor. By so doing we not only help and bear him up, but we help ourselves, and thereby aid in speeding the race to a higher standard. The passing generation of learned ones of our race is looking to the present and coming generations for great developments. Let us awaken to a sense of realization of the fact that we can by taking advantage of possible opportunities, achieve much and can avoid the severe criticism we would receive if we should fall to prove equal to the demands that will be made upon us to sustain, maintain and increase the intellectual standing of these great and grand old piers that are fast decaying, and will soon give way and take on that life immortal.

The Twentieth Century club of the A. M. E. church of this city held its regular monthly meeting last Tuesday evening. Mrs. Allen, of Butte, Montana, has been visiting in the city for the past week, and will remain over for another week. A number of ladies picniced at West Seattle last Wednesday, the guests of Mrs. George H. Grose and Mrs. William Grose. News from Dawson confirm a former report of the death of Mrs. Daniels. Mrs. Harris wrote a friend in this city of her death. Miss Nina Ramsey, after a most extended stay in the city of smokestacks, has returned to the city and is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Ritter, 216 26th Ave. So. The friends of Miss Mable Dixon will regret to learn that she was taken to the hospital last Tuesday suffering form an acute case of appendicitis. She has undergone an operation and is doing as well as could be expected. The wedding bells rang merrily last Wednesday evening. Miss Norma Duvall and Mr. Geo. Bryant were quietly married at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Coombs, in the presence of a few intimate friends, Rev. S. S. Freeman officiating. Mesdames J. H. Black and A. L. Booker, of Spokane, Wash., are visiting friends in the Queen City. Miss Booker is an expert chiropodist, and contemplates locating in the city. She will prove a most valuable adjunct to our growing colony. The Colored American Mazazine has accepaed a story from the pen of Mr. Clifford Hancock concerning what he saw while in Alaska, and offers to pay him $30 for the same. Mr. Hancock might improve his talent in that direction and become a noted newspaper correspondent. The coming session of the Colored Baptist State Convention promises to be the largest representative gathering of Afro-Americans ever assembled in this city. The convention will be held with Mt. Zion Baptist Church July 23 to 27. Dr. R. H. Boyd, D. D., Nashville, Tenn., will be among the distinguished visitors. Mrs. Mattie Hamn gave a most delightful dinner party on Thursday last. Among the many guests were Rev. Mrs. S. S. Freeman, Mrs. A. H. Hall, Mrs. Martin, Dr. F. T. Walker, Rev. J. Gordon McPherson and Miss Ida Johnson. After spending a most enjoyable time around the festive board the guests voted Mrs. Hamn a most pleasant and charming hostess. The members of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church has extended a call to Rev. F. T. Walker, of Quincy, Ill., to succeed Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, as pastor, who resigned some time ago. Mr. McPherson will preach his farewell sermon on the 4th Sunday in this month. He contemplates taking an extended tour throughout South and East lecturing. He has engagements that will keep him busy until the fall. That dispicable form of humanity indigenous only to the United States and known as the "dirty nigger barber," who keeps a sign over his place of business, "i keeps no black soap," is still to be found trying to push themselves in among decent people. No other race of people on earth save the Negro refuses to accommodate persons of their own nationality when in business, and when one does do so and try to mingle with the balance of the race, he should be kicked out without ceremony. Walter Sanford's Company of Players are presenting "Northern Lights" in a capable manner at the Third Avenue theatre this week. The last performance will be given Saturday night. "Tempest Tossed" will be the offering of the sixth week of the Sanford Company of Players at the Third Avenue Theatre, opening next Sunday night. This comedy drama was produced by Mr. Sanford six years ago at the Grand Opera House, New York city, and toured the east successfully for two seasons. On the occasion of its production at that time, the New York Journal said: "If peals of laughter and round after round of applause from one of the largest and best pleased audiences seen at the Grand Opera House this season may be considered a test of popular success, Walter Sanford's new American drama, "Tempest Tossed," must be set down as one of the season's greatest successes." "Tempest Tossed' has never been produced in Seattle before and in the hands of the capable Sanford company it should be greeted with large audiences all next week.
